Two balanced rocks against puffy white clouds in Arches National Park

Rising 128 feet beside the main road in Arches National Park, Balanced Rock has a top that is the size of three school buses.

Balanced rocks are common in the parks of the Southwest. Do you see the second balanced rock on the left? Colorado National Monument and Garden of the Gods both have well known Balanced Rocks.

The snow capped mountains in the background are in the La Sal mountain range.
